POOCHES enjoyed the launch of Dogs at Donyatt Canine Hydrotherapy last week with their owners.

The centre has been open since the spring, and the launch gave registered canine hydrotherapist Fiona Williams and her team the chance to thank those who helped set up the business and clients.

Pets enjoyed a ‘doggy buffet’ with the day finishing with some awards, left, including ‘fastest dog in the pool’.

The centre specialises in treating dogs with conditions including osteoarthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate ruptures and fractures, either in its purpose-built swimming pool or underwater treadmill.

The treatment can improve weight bearing, muscle mass and range of motion in limbs.
